Postgame: Vikings and Da Bears

Here we have it a Viking victory without a defensive touchdown. The offense today played best they have thus far all season. With the 34-31 victory is a boost for the whole team.The offense played good today. They have not been as frustrating as they have been all season. Chilly FINALLY realized that maybe I should give Adrian Peterson the rock a bit more. AP just exploded for over 224 yards on the ground on 20 carries with 3 TDs(67,73,and 35). As expected we had Tarvaris Jackson back in action. He was not impressive, but he had zero INTs. That is a plus, considering how he played his previous starts. He went 9/23 136 yard and 1 TD. His lone TD pass was to Troy Williamson for 60 yards. Our O-line did a great job opening up hole for our running backs.The defense pass coverage was horrible again. They almost gave the Bears the game. The Vikes seconday gave up 381 yards for 3 TDs. We need help in the secondary.A switch may be taking place. . But the Vikes gave up two long touchdown passes, allowing Chicago to tie the game. Then Peterson had a 53 yard kickoff return, allowing the Vikings to attempt the long field goal that Ryan Longwell made.This was a big game for us to get a win in.We have a murderous schedule. So hopefully the Vikes can take this momentum to to these upcoming games. In order for the Vikes to even think of the playoffs. They have to win 2 of the nexy 3 games. If not they can most likely kiss the playoffs goodbye.
